WNO Open House Weekend - 31st May-3rd June 2007


WNO Open House Weekend - 31st May-3rd June 2007
This May Bank Holiday weekend (Thursday 31 May-Sunday 3 June) sees the Wales Millennium Centre throw open its doors for a celebration of the Welsh National Opera’s new season. Open House is a programme of free events spanning the weekend which will showcase the diversity, talent and inner workings of Wales’ national opera company. The WMC provides the perfect backdrop for its most prominent resident, with every nook of the prestigious building filled to bursting point with operatic treats.

With a range of free performances, workshops, screenings, master classes, technical insight and operatic question times featuring the General Director of WNO John Fisher, fans and non-fans alike are spoilt for choice. 'Open House is designed to appeal as much to people who may never have been to an opera before as to those who already know and love the company and would like to get an insight into how we put a production together.'

For the full programme of Open House events check out http://www.wno.org.uk/. All events are free, however some are ticketed – Call WMC Ticket Office on 08700 40 2000 to reserve your space.

The Summer 2007 WNO Season runs from 11 May - 3 June and features an already sold-out Carmen along with performances of Redflight Barcud, Dolffin, Wild Cat, The Damnation of Faust, 7 Deadly Sins/Duke Bluebeard’s Castle and 4 Sacred Pieces/Belshazzar’s Feast.
